I couldn’t be happier with it. There is one colour I am really running low on and it’s the bright pink from my eBay 120 palette and this comes just at the right time for me.
I was really impressed by the pigmentation of the shadows. The palette offers a mixture of shimmery and matte. The shimmer is finely milled and is easy to work with. They are a little bit of the soft side (do not drop them) but then again my 120 palette is the worst offender in that department and it’s the palette I tend to reach out the most. I am not majorly blown away by the green. I expected a true lime and it’s bit too yellow for me. The star for me in this palette is the burgundy. It’s truly a gorgeous colour on its own but I can see myself using this as an alternative to black to darken a crease.
My first play with this palette therefore had to incorporate this colour. So I used the bright pink, the burgundy and the shimmery white. I also used a little bit of mac vanilla to help blending toward the brow/highlight area. Please excuse the mask of foundation. I went just a bit heavy with it on that day! What do you think? Would you wear this during the day, or at work for example? I would, I love my brights :)
Next, I think I want to buy these 2 palettes. I have way too many eyeshadow palettes already though :( Do you own anything from Beauty UK?

Oooo wow they're a lot better than I expected them to be! I always thought they'd be like the rubbish Collection 2000 palettes but they look incredible! I might have a treat myself :D x
I bought a palette and the softness drove me crazy, almost unuseable unless I used it wet. It was passed on to my wee sister...
What a nice palette and very pigmented too. I think for that price you should get the other 2 as well. I love bright e/s and your look is pretty wearable for work, why not?!

They aren't bad palettes but I'm not a fan of the texture. I bought both of those at the bottom when I was first getting into makeup! The neutrals palette is quite nice though, I still use it now and then.
I like this eye makeup combination. This is the first time I visited you. Love what I see here. thanks
I love Beauty UK palettes I always take them onn holiday for the colour variety and the fact that its doesn't matter too much if they get damaged x
i don't own anything, but I want to, now!
I love my BeautyUk palette, I have the neutral colours one, and I also have one of the blushers, they're such good quality, especially for the price.

I want that second palette that you want too!
And I happen to have that bright colourful one and I love it :) http://ohlalamaquillage.blogspot.com/2010/10/beautyuk-eyeshadow-palette-in-soho.html I have pics here if you're interested, although that was a while ago so they're not very great.

Of the two you want, I have the brights on the left! I you like the free one you got, you'll love that one! Metallics look nice too...! xx
I think I've seen these sold here and Aus and always skipped over them too, because I assumed they'd be poo. They look really great here though! :O

I also skipped over these thinking they were too cheap to be any good...I must give them a go! Thank you liloo!
